  • finally a video that shows one of these that sounds decent.

    hes got it maxxed out tho..doesnt seem that loud.

  • No, it's not a loud amp. But it works exceptionally well for it's purpose.

  • In terms of volume, not tone, how does it compare with a GK MB150S?

  • Hard to say. The GK is a typical directional volume, where the PJB is more radiating. The gK might be perceived as louder because it comes at you from a single point.

  • I was trying to decide between the Flightcase and the Super Flightcase. The Super is only 9lbs heavier so I guess it comes down to the extra cash for the Super. I typically perform in jazz trios and quartets.

    BTW I notice that even after this very positive review you still choose the Genz Benz as your main rig for URB and electric. Any specific reason?

  • The PJB works best in certain environments, and I don't always get to play in those situations. On an outdoor gig, or a stage that is not up against a wall, the PJB is at a disadvantage. It was designed to work with the room.

  • So i bought this amp and got a set of default cables in the box. I've been looking into some "monster" bass cables, and i'm wondering which is better. Please reply if you have an answer. Thanks!

  • ...well all sound waves are omnidirectional, but I guess, since bass frequencies travel farther, it could be argued that bass frequencies are more omnidirectional.

  • I want a mini warwick!!

  • I bought a used flightcase on eBay a couple of months ago ($525). I used to own a briefcase but it really didn't have the presence that I needed. I tried out the flightcase in a shop and was impressed with the sound. I think it's the upward facing drivers that make the difference. There are a couple of clips of me playing out with it on my YT page. I'm still experimenting with the levels/positioning of the thing, but overall I like it. And 25lbs. Wow!

  • Old trick is to turn your drivers to the wall and let the wall act as a passive driver. Sub woofers have used this trick in most stereos.

  • great amp, I got one and was pretty happy, but then I figured out that a headphones out gives a lot of high-tone midi-like sound. dunno why it's like that, ggot the same thing on my bass buddy preamp.

    a few weeks ago I had one speaker half-dead, unfortunately. dunno if it's about the manufacturing quality or what ((((((

    oh and, by the way, is it REALLY THAT quiet? of course it's more about the tone, but it's kind of 15 times less loud as a typical 150watts one

    thanks if you answer btw )
